I’m delving deep into my childhood for this one, but these books are an amazing and imaginative fantasy series. The variety of shape-shifters and the cultural differences between them are just begging for images. The cover art alone gives a good idea of how stunning these books would be with illustrations alongside the text.

These books involve journey between an “ordinary” boarding school and a secret world that Gemma and her friends discover. I’m sure artists could do interesting things with contrast between the real world and the mystical parallel one.

Honestly, I could keep going. There are so many great options for books that would spawn beautiful illustrations! After writing this list, I’ve decided this is a thing I for sure want to see happening more often.
